Pope Leo needs to stay in his lane, and focus on the people of the world who have ’caused’ this mess…rather than the international political response…
I think the Pope is just late to the party, trying to be ‘relevant’…
While I respect Bishop Barron…let’s just say that ‘the rogue sheep of the world’ have caused this mess, and just my own opinion

This Chicago pope is the dirty spawn of the fake pope, Francis, who stole his papacy from Benedict.
He meets with David Axelrod last week, and promptly starts attacking PDJT.
Meanwhile, after Iran slaughters 45,000 protestors, not a word.
A hypocrite. The Chicago pope.
This papa ain’t no catholic.
I’ve seen his type…before!
Gracias Dios!!
No more pesos in the collect boxes. We give food and clothes to the needy!! Not Un Peso!!
…Oldersoul..where did you get …45,000 ??? many agencies saying 7,500-8,000 half of them security personnels..hmmm

“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth a war, is much worse. When a people are used as mere human instruments for firing cannon or thrusting bayonets, in the service and for the selfish purposes of a master, such war degrades a people. A war to protect other human beings against tyrannical injustice; a war to give victory to their own ideas of right and good, and which is their own war, carried on for an honest purpose by their free choice, — is often the means of their regeneration. A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. As long as justice and injustice have not terminated their ever-renewing fight for ascendancy in the affairs of mankind, human beings must be willing, when need is, to do battle for the one against the other.”
― John Stuart Mill, Principles of Political Economy
Pope Leo is Deep Church, just like Pope Commie before him. He advocates for Nuclear Blackmail and the continued slavery of the Iranian People from the safety of his palace walls, built, incidentally, to stop Islamic invaders by Catholics who thought the Kingdom of Jesus and the Rights of Man were worth fighting for.
“They preach that if you see a man flogging a woman to death you must not hit him. I would much sooner let a leper come near a little boy than a man who preached such a thing.”–G.K. Chesterton
It was either in the 50’s or 60’s, Padre Pio said that Satan is ‘already in the Pope’s slippers’…
The Iranian people were tortured and executed…did he say anything?
Pope Leo is acting political. Unregenerate man cannot be ruled by the principles of the Sermon on the Mount. That is why the Apostle Paul says that the governments of man exist to protect the good and punish the evil. Romans 13:3
Christ’s church on earth, in many aspects is run by men, who are fallible and subject to the temptations that abound…jmo….while we need to pray for them, I long deeply, for the Catholic Church I was raised in…
Dear Aggiegirl,
With deepest respect for your many insights and contributions, I would like to say that the church that is referred to in the holy scriptures is the congregation of those who have come to Jesus Christ as the sinners they are, confessing directly to Him, and have asked him to save their souls from hell and to send the Holy Spirit to them to revive their dead spirits.
There is no man, nor has there ever been, that can do that service. Only one. He sits at the right hand of the Creator.
Anybody can be saved. It is in rejecting Him as the sole redeemer that condemns a person.
Happy 250th Birthday!!!!!!
I saw that, too and while I love Bishop Barron, he too, needs to stay in his lane…maybe getting after the likes of Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden would be high on their target list?
I also love when Popes weigh in on American border and immigration policy, from behind the vatican walls guarded by armed members of the Swiss Guard. Remember where the pejorative verb “pontificate” comes from.
No arguments from on that one…
I still wonder about Henry the VIII, and separating from Rome…but yet the Church of England is also a mess….
Can’t speak much to the C of E, but in America the Episcopal Church falls squarely in the category known as “I didn’t leave my church; my church left me.”
And there it went. A website for transgender Episcopal priests. sigh

As a reborn Jewish believer in Jesus I am frequently puzzled as to why there is an expectation that Jews are somehow “holier” than unsaved people generally…A cursory skimming of the Old Testament should disabuse anyone from that expectation, and yet it seems to persist…Jews and Gentiles all have the same unfortunate fallen nature and tendencies. We are truly brothers and sisters….
Dear Evie,
Such a great question! Congratulations on being saved.
The Old Testament describes the moment God made his covenant with Abraham. He took Abraham and his genetic semitic line as his own personal people because there were no other people on the earth that had a one-on-one relationship with Him as their only God. Only Abraham followed the directions God gave him so God blessed him. Everybody else was praying to idols of wood and stone and multiple deities.
You are correct that all of mankind is born with the fallen nature of Adam. After the second Adam, Jesus Christ, completed his mission, the only distinction for anyone is if they receive Him as their living savior regardless of ethnicity. Outside of the body of Christ there are the unsaved, regardless of ethnicity.
Happy 250th Birthday!!!!!!
From history that I have read, Henry Vlll only used religious manipulation for purposes of finding a suitable woman to produce an heir for his legacy. He didn’t have much religious compunction as he ordered the beheading of a couple of unsatisfactory wives.
and let’s not forget that the catholic church was very involved in our border invasion. They aid and abet illegals all the time.
As did the Baptists, Episcopalians, Methodists, etc. Government money.

Another Treehouse citatation. It’s not just the Catholic Church.

As a Californian, I can tell you they used it to try re-populate parishes.
The Lutheran Church (before its split) follow suit, and NGOs gave them money to boot.
If they hadn’t sold us out or sold their souls they wouldn’t need to repopulate. As the pastors son told me – it’s just a business like any other.
Lutheran Family Services and Catholic Charities—–both got huge $$$ to process illegals into the country.
Strange, I never heard a peep from the good bishop during the Covid lockout of Catholic churches. He takes the easy routes.
Yes, he should stay in his lane, but he won’t and should be fired, recalled, or whatever is done to get rid of evil, leftist popes.
Sorry, you are stuck with hlm till either he or you die.
Unfortunately yes and this is one of several reasons I no longer attend the Catholic church
We pray that the wrong will be righted.
I’m so disgusted with the leadership of the RCC
Does the Pope think good men should do nothing against evil?
I don’t have much affection for the current Pope (who blesses blocks of ice, and puts Islamic prayer rooms in the Vatican).
But, that being said i have never been affected much when religious leaders and government leaders diverge. In fact, I much respect and understand it.
An elected leader has to deal with the physical threats and nasty realities of the world with an allegiance and responsibility to the survival and flourishment of his/her people. This can also, of course, include spiritual elements (prayer, kindness, righteous behavior, etc). However, the main function is in the physical world.
Religious leaders are expected to function primarily in the spiritual world. Yes, to encourage good behavior, but mostly to save souls who are temporarily lost to God. Those close to God bring goodness and light to the world.
They are in different places. I think both are blessed by God in different ways.
The true religious leaders represent the spiritual ideal. The best political leaders may serve the means to get there. They are opposites, but go hand in hand.
A couple of things: clean up the pedophiles within your ranks and come clean about aiding and assisting the Nazis’ escape from Germany, just saying.
Trump won’t do it, but I’d love to hear him start talking about human trafficking with the Catholic Church front and center. The abuse and trafficking have never been dealt with.
I won’t poke the pope since I’m not of his religion.

WELL, SONOFABITCH
Manufactured News Network: “We’re Done Pretending We’re Done Pretending!”
Rest in the Vine: MNN’s HEADLICE NEWS
The mother of all “What Ifs!” and to me how history rhymes.
In 1992 Ross Perot ran for president. To be clear though he was a billionaire he was no President Trump.
It was a political earthquake, even exciting. He rattled TPTB and the uniparty revealed itself. Bush’s, Clinton’s all of the enemy MSM, and even talk radio (podcasters at the time) attacked.
In the middle of the campaign, he had great momentum. But something happened at his daughter’s wedding, Perot appeared visibly rattled and he dropped out.
Then a short time, days or week later he tepidly came back in, but now seemingly in uniparty control. The enemy MSM now with the help of Talk Radio helped pile on Perot and they pulled him down and the USA was going to suffer a death blow, NAFTA in reality Not Anything For The Americans.
A side note: I believe Perot made his billions selling security tech (EDS Electronic Data Systems) …to the government, perhaps that’s the string they pulled?
Then in the mysterious uncertainty the election happens, and Perot stumbled across the finish line but still gets 18% in a crooked system. This allowed Bill the Slut Clinton in with mere plurality 42% of the vote. Man, when he took the reins with the enemy MSM in his pocket it was as if he’d won like Reagan in 1984 49-1 or Nixon in 1972 49-1.
And after the election Rush and Republicans spanked Perot voters for some time on his show, “see what you did” dummies.
My wife and I felt bad up and until 1994 and lo and behold Clinton, a brother from another mother as “W” later affectionately (2016) named him, with NAFTA Newt, put a contract with/on America and passed GHW Bush’s policy, small, American manufacturing was screwed…
…But even the great Rush missed these cues or did he do as he was told? In 1992-4, Rush referred to Newt Gingrich affectionately as Mr. Newt, I believe he even guest hosted the show a couple of times.
I supported Newt as well, he was our congressman for a time. His Special-Order speeches were awesome on C-Span. But passing NAFTA belied everything he said in his SO speeches and by 1994 had quelled the Perot uprising, the uniparty was back on track, our demise.
Well folks, to punctuate the story, “that giant sucking sound” is exactly what happened, it was terrible, I know, I directly experienced it. First large, then small and medium manufacturers were vaporized after 1994. Our company lasted longer than many, 9-11-2001 finished us off.
In this case Rush was 100% wrong; but he toed the company line and helped destroy Ross Perot…What if? This is analogous to the podcasters of today.
To be clear, I love Rush and miss his show everyday M-F 12-3PM. But he was connected to the machine, the Bush team, you know Cheney, he’d called “a rock-ribbed conservative” and then fast forward, Rush (RIP) had passed, the Cheney/Bush clans supported Harris in 2024.
With the current podcast pundit kerfuffle boiling over. We must remember podcasters are an extension of the enemy MSM, in fact many are working for FOX and the Murdochs, see CTH article 4/11 and are loyal to their bottom line.
They have advertisers and a telephone, you know, the calls come in “get your head right Tucker/Megan, when we get rid of Trump in 2026-28 we might have a prime-time slot for you.”
Actually it was Marco Rubio who Rush called a “rock-ribbed conservative”.
I was watching politics then. Perot was not that great of a candidate. His VP pick was awful and not a good connect to the population. Story goes he dropped because his daughters personal life was going to be made public. EDS sucked millions off the government. His company was not the best to work for. Long hours and under paid. GM then HP. CSC merge with them to become DXC.
Ross was a good guy but not a master tech genius in my book. Hard working. Still he did not impress me. He did have balls enough to get people out of Iran.
The Unbelievable Story Of A Texas Businessman Who Launched A Freelance Commando Raid in Iran
https://taskandpurpose.com/news/texas-billionaire-led-private-commando-raid-amid-iranian-revolution/
Oh no doubt, a mediocre candidate at best. But, that “giant sucking sound” was spot on.
I remember all that as you do: Perot did not look like a “chastened” man, but a “frightened” one. He also as much as said he didn’t really want the job, just felt it was important that he jump in to get people thinking. He really didn’t campaign after that.
Yep, fell across the finish line.

Sundance retweet…
PDJT deleted the post this morning, according to numerous reports.
Let’s move on.
The damage has been done. Memes will live on for years. Needless wasted political capital by the President who has become quite tone deaf for some reason which makes no sense to me.
As much damage as the Trump digital trading card ‘scandal’ of 2021.
As in no damage done.
By next week, all the black pill dispensers will have moved on to their next “damage” hysteria.
I love the guy BUT he loves to be loved and loves to be portrayed as hero. He loves the role of hero or “savior” ….in a non religious sense.
However, that very proclivity, the desire to always be praise and indeed his inclination to offer praise to himself even when it is unnecessary since other DO praise him, is the trait most people find so offensive.
I just keep remembering what Sundance said: we support him NOT because he’s a perfect person but because he’s the ONLY one that’s shown he’s not afraid to battle the bad guys that ruin the country for all of us. He does love this country and few politicians do.
Unlike you, he wants to do the right thing.
There’s many nice things he’s done and nobody knew.
You must be projecting what you are on President Trump.
No. Bunch of stupid panicans and people with nothing in their lives except Hate President Trump™️, bitching about a whole lot of nothing.

I have a feeling someone has been sabotaging President Trump’s Truth account.
This morning I was surprised to see this linked to The Guardian, and it says that the “investigation into Swalwell has been filed by a conspiracy theorist”

@RealDonKeith
🚨President Trump has deleted this Truth Social post after backlash from Christians.
For clarity, the original image was from an account portraying Trump as a healer of the nation and not Jesus.
Cont…
In the press conference he said he thought it was supposed to be him as a doctor, healing the nation.
thats totally the way my doctor dresses…
Then why didn’t you recognize that President Trump was a doctor and speak up?
Oh, I get it. Your point once again was to find a way — any way you could think of– to trash the President.
At least be man enough to admit who you are.
i believe the last time you pontificated on “who i am” you impugned my loyalty. if i thought for one moment that you would be interested in engaging in a dialogue, i would be more than happy to tell you who i am. i try first to understand – and then to be understood.
i do it several times a week, here, in fact, on a variety of topics; some of which almost certainly align with the things you believe in, as well. ultimately, YOU choose to engage only in those which cause you to have this reaction. why is that?
Because I’m tired of your constant work to bring down President Trump by creating negative conversations.
If you have so much to say, why don’t you post anything specifying what you would do? Instead, you post what President Trump is doing wrong, and just as with the “your doctor” post above, you go for attention over sutstance.
What are your plans for helping the country? You don’t tell us that, yet you feel free to constantly rag on President Trump.
I would like to see progress in getting the country straightened out and so far President Trump is the best chance we have for that to happen.
Based on your posts, apparently what you seek is to promote yourself and perhaps you advocate for an extremely limited form of government, although that isn’t clear because you don’t promote positive ideas.
Thank you
What if President Trump was shown a picture meme to post where he was wearing doctor attire with Red Cross identification and not the one he actually approved/directed for posting? If the case, his response makes him look like Senile Joe.
As my teenage son likes to say – people are really doing “cope gymnastics” with this.
The imagery harkens to common imagery of Christ healing the sick. Even non-Christians know the stories of Christ the Healer.
Pretending that this image is not making the obvious connection is pretty dumb.
He should have posted the original from Adams, for context. Yet, man can’t heal others, only God can. Also, wearing a biblical outfit, instead of his usual, suit and tie, holding the orb or whatever, is very misleading, at best. Very disturbing.
It is awful that President Trump has to put up
with these petty narcissists.
Some have no clue about what it really meant,
because they don’t know about the Bible.
Their way of feeling good is all about
tearing down wonderful people.
Their goal is to get some of that attention.
Actually, we’re ALL supposed to look that way and lay hands upon the sick. In his simple faith, our President acknowledged that.
John 14:12
I assure you and most solemnly say to you, anyone who believes in Me [as Savior] will also do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these [in extent and outreach], because I am going to the Father.
Lord, save us from religion!
ps; In case you didn’t notice, Saint Donald just got the entire Press Corpse to proclaim the Holiness of Jesus Christ.
heh heh
Yes, that is how we are to obey, as a channel of His love.
Watch The Chosen as Jesus sends them out to heal others, if you won’t read the Bible.
Excellent points!
Deleted…wrong thread
This pope is no different than Francis. The Catholic Church is not unified. Many of us Catholics in America don’t support the liberal direction of the church in its seeming embrace of LGBTQ+ people and its opposition to enforcement of immigration laws.
Pope Leo supports open borders and illegal immigration. He’s stepping into the political realm so his religious office shouldn’t protect him from criticism. The globalists have their hooks in this pope too.
It really fries me when a really educated person, one who knows about biology, about anthropology AND HISTORY, a person a POPE is supposed to be, doesn’t account for the MURDER AND MAYHEM , the outright chaos the ensues when people from very different cultures (values and beliefs and language and history) are suddenly thrown together in a stew.
Nothing but awful happens. This POPE KNOWS THAT. It is not anti-Christian to admit publicly what we all know, what both historians and anthropologists know, that humans are like all other animals in that only time allows them to adapt to change and the more radical the change, the more chaos.
I can’t stand when people pretend and when leaders of an institution as old and ingrained and as wide-spread as Roman Catholicism act dumb to that, I get really pissed off.
Hey, Pope Leo, do not BELIEVE the crazy mullahs would use the nukes they seek to procure?
Oh, you do? Well, how to stop them from using them?
Oh, you just want me to pray, DO NOTHING ELSE?
Come ON, WHAT’S YOUR SOLUTION, CHICAGO BOY? huh?
No one has tried harder to bargain, to use diplomacy, that this POTUS we have now.
Something tells me that were he a guy with a D by his name, you would have actually given him LAVISH PRAISE! Isn’t that so? Yeah, YOU WOULD HAVE.
You would still have felt compelled by your robes to speak of peace…which means nothing, speaking, speaking, speaking…but you would not have issued transparent criticisms of him….nah.
Go pray yourself. Me, I support getting rid of the disease of those bastards who have held sway over good people for 47 years!
Satan has his hooks in this pope too. FIFY
OK. So, what is “the light” emanating from his hands? And the images of soldiers in the sky emerging from the light? And his clothing – something from Jesus’ day that He may have worn?
This image is VERY EASY to misinterpret.
Micah 7:8
“Do not gloat over me, my enemies! For though I fall, I will rise again. Though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light.”
Proverbs 24:16
“For though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.”
Genesis 50:20
You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring this to pass and to keep many people alive, as it is this day.
We stand on the Word of God and will not be moved, Lord Jesus, Amen!

Ursula von der Leyen saying the EU should drop unanimous voting and switch to qualified majority voting, using Hungary’s recent election as the reason to push it now.
Smaller countries lose their veto powerhttps://abs-0.twimg.com/emoji/v2/svg/203c.svg It is negative for smaller countries.
One nation, one vote disappears. A few big players can then steamroll everyone else on sanctions, migration and trade, basically. Anything Brussels wants to push through, they get.
Hungary just showed what happens when a small country keeps saying no. Now they’re trying to make sure no one else can do the same. It is the end of national sovereignty.
The deeper part is the timing. They waited until Orbán actually lost power before making the move.
Now they’re using Hungary’s election as proof that “democracy is winning,” while quietly taking away the very mechanism that let Hungary keep saying no all these years.https://abs-0.twimg.com/emoji/v2/svg/1f4ab.svg
That would indicate they want to do something unpopular with smaller countries like, I don’t know, World War III?
Kinda off topic, but it is a classic MSM. CBS Sucks! March Madness camera coverage is horrible with CBS. I have been complaining for years. It appears to be across the board. They suck at covering sports. Come on golf is an easy one.

NYT’s Friedman: I Really Don’t Want to See Netanyahu, Trump ‘Politically Strengthened’ by Victory over Iran
“So I’m all for that,” he added. “The problem is I really don’t want to see Bibi Netanyahu or Donald Trump politically strengthened by this war because they are two awful human beings. They are both engaged in anti- democratic projects in their own countries. They’re both alleged crooks. They are terrible, terrible people doing terrible things to America’s standing in the world and Israel standing in the world. And so I really find myself torn. I want to see Iran militarily defeated, but I do not want to see these two terrible people strengthened.”

The “City of London” is a shell of its former self. Global capital flows no longer need the connective tissue of English Banks and the Lloyds Syndicates. Lloyds is basically the NYSE of Insurance where buyers and sellers of risk from around the world trade. This includes entities from Asia, the USA and the ME. Long gone are the days when a few rich people gathered in a coffee house (the Original Lloyds) to underwrite maritime policies during the age of sail.
The below article is a little wonkish from an insurance standpoint but is just the latest example of how even the Lloyds marketplace is being disintermediated by large capital pools. Just like how the NYSE is also being disintermediated by the same pools. Who are these investors? You and me via pension funds, ownership of public companies as well as sovereign wealth funds and other private market investors.
The Promethean Action crew are about 40 years behind on these developments. The City of London boogie man no longer exists in conjunction with these changes and the downward spiral of the British Empire.

Sure. My doctor always wears robes and lays his hands on me to cure me. I believe Him.
Not only that – where is the Red Cross imagery?

Mine not only wears robes, >>> I can see the light eminating off of him when he heals me.

Because some stupid meme is so important. We are about to have 2 decisions one by SCOTUS, one by Congress that will determine the fate of our nation for eternity,Birthright Citizenship and The Save America Act — and yet this is sucking all the oxygen out of the room.
ONEOK (OKE) said late Friday it is currently shipping fuel from Oklahoma to Texas via a segment of its Magellan pipeline, reversing flows that typically carry product northbound to Oklahoma from Texas.
The move comes as the U.S. Gulf Coast has seen fuel inventories dwindle amid a surge in export demand to offset global shortages from the Middle East war.
Jet fuel exports were higher for a fifth straight week, reaching 442K bbl/day, the highest number on record, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s latest weekly report.
Kinda deceptive. They legal “agree” because they are forced to.
BTW, what is LBGTQ+ Rights? Is there a law? I really think that is a made up phrase.
Trump administration agrees to keep flying rainbow pride flag
The agreement aims to settle a lawsuit from LGBTQ+ and historic preservation groups. The Interior Department confirmed the flag will remain, only removed for maintenance. Within a week, three flags will be hung on the monument’s flagpole. The Pride flag symbolizes the ongoing fight for LGBTQ+ rights and visibility.

PANTS ON FIRE
{ After ‘Unlawful Detention’ Claims Unravel, Wisconsin Sheriff Sues Woman and IL Commissioner for Defamation }
“… Naqvi claims she was held by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents at O’Hare International Airport for 30+ hours, and was then moved to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview, Illinois, before finally being transferred to the Dodge County Jail in Wisconsin. She claims she was ultimately released without her belongings.
Cook County Commissioner Kevin Morrison affirmed her claims
…
Sheriff Schmidt investigated Naqvi’s claims and uncovered that hotel records show she checked into the Hampton Inn & Suites in Rosemont, Illinois, near the airport, for the duration of the alleged detention.
Additionally, surveillance footage and other records place her in Wisconsin with an acquaintance (including shopping at a gas station), not in custody.
Sheriff Schmidt stated that she was never in Dodge County Sheriff’s custody, nor was she ever transported across state lines by authorities, and his office has compiled { evidence that can be viewed here. }
On April 10, 2026, Sheriff Schmidt filed a $1 million defamation lawsuit against Naqvi and Morrison in federal court, alleging they spread false claims that damaged his and the department’s reputation.

There are still questions as to why some of these allegations took place? Really?
She, her family and her “supporters” are all a bunch of liars. Too bad they can’t prosecute them.
That she was transferred across state lines without extradition is a dead give away it’s a lie. Both states would have to have paperwork.
they’ve tried so hard to come up with the narrative that would neuter ICE and failed. at least the other ones they had some footage that could be debated in the court of public opinion. this isn’t even trying anymore.
I’m not sure it matters; that they make the claim is enough for public opinion to swallow it, repeat it, and politicize it. Forever. You notice even when something is soundly debunked they just ignore that and keep repeating the false claims.
Parallels… sometimes I see them even when they don’t exist.
So Trump arranged for a meeting between Ukraine and Russia to negotiate an end of the war. But the UK swings by to visit Z and suddenly the deal is off. Then later Trump personally meets with Z and then he attempts to embarrass Trump on live video. Anything to thwart peace and an end to hostilities.
Now we have Iran. They appear to be militarily disabled and yet will not agree not to make nuclear weapons. Trump has had progress with negotiating but then things are slipping away again for no good reason and NOW I hear Europe is coming to interfere with Trump’s blockade of Hormuz.
What’s the time-line before Trump ends NATO. When the US exits, the others have no choice in it. They will “agree” NATO exists but nothing will ever be done after the US resources are removed. And for Trump to re-enter NATO, his conditions will be AMAZING I’m quite sure. But how long before he exits NATO?
Feels like soon.
If they keep this activity up it will sooner rather than later.
Each move the UK, France and others in NATO make against President Trump, they are actually making against the U.S as a country. Therefore making a move to exit NATO will meet with less and less resistance.
NATO countries siding with the enemy is not an option in my book. It would be then end of a long and expensive coalition.
In 2016 I allowed myself a glimmer of hope that Candidate Trump might actually win the election because of the English win on leaving the EU.
The very very sad thing is that 10 years later Great Britain has still not left the EU, and I read recently that if the US leaves NATO it will necessitate England “rejoining” the EU – as if they ever actually left in reality.
Trump Will Win the War With Iran

Wrong. He has already won. Now it’s just a matter of squeezing the life out of Iran’s proxies.Oil may remain high for a while, but that is a bargain against what has been accomplished.
You can’t make this up!

The sharpest Iran economic analysis out there right now comes from @miadmaleki, Iranian-born former US Treasury official.
13 days. That’s when Iran shuts off its own oil wells. Hormuz blockade = nowhere to store oil.
Can’t restart them easily. Permanent damage.
Not a crisis. A countdown.
Cont and Video linked….
That’s What $hia $aid!
Trump, genius master negotiator. Look for him to demand more now that Iran played and lost once. Maybe, all oil revenue goes through USA?

Pope Leo needs to stop now. You don’t tangle with Trump and come away from it unchanged.
I’m certain he’ll heed your advice. s/
He, like everyone else on this planet, is entitled to his opinion, right or wrong, like it or not.

If California voters cannot see this for what it is and stop voting for these people, then the state is lost forever.
Trump posts image of himself as Jesus—and even some allies are outraged
In both his 2016 and 2024 presidential election victories, Trump was aided by considerable support from conservative evangelical Christians. These religious supporters remain one of Trump’s most fiercely loyal demographics, according to polling published by Pew Research in February. The president had a 69% approval rating from white evangelicals in January 2026, according to Pew’s data, compared to a 52% approval rating from white Catholics. However, significantly fewer believe Trump acts “ethically” while in office, according to the research. Only 40% of white evangelicals had confidence in Trump’s ethics, compared to only 34% of white Catholics. His support was even lower among non-white religious demographics, with only 23% approval from Hispanic Catholics and 12% approval from Black protestants.

When asked President Trump claimed that the picture represents him as a Doctor? It is my understanding that the picture has since been removed.
Been removed because, most likely NOT picture he thought he was approving to be posted. His response is so far off from the picture posted that he looks like Babbling Joe, which I believe was the intention of the inside “sabotage team”.
This topic is already boring.
It also shows the Left’s growing desperation as their splitter strategy is failing once again, I guess they could always go back to Epstein.
Agreed…..
What better person to model yourself from though President Trump didn’t do it. And, by the way, why is laying your hands on a person to heal a mockery. God has given many people this gift.
Well Riley has shown her true colors. She can ESAD.
CTH reporting Repeated
She’s describing control of the choke point like a literal mafia protection action.
That’s her analogy of how Lloyds of London has been using it… is what she’s describing farfetched?
Not even al little bit.
Is every insurance policy ever offered a “protection racket” – car, home, property, health etc. – “extortion for protection of passage”?
I think so.
Maybe the mob is where the whole insurance racket came from in the first place.
A skunk by any other name would smell as foul.
Gracias Dios President Trump Won!!

“We can’t let a country blackmail or extort the world because that’s what they’re doing. They’re really blackmailing the world. We’re not going to let that happen.”
And: “We don’t need it, but the world needs it.”
Of course, these statements are true. And yet, the world community has apparently tolerated such abuses for “47 years.” (Go figger …)
Well – now the propaganda machines quite frankly begin to “eat their own tails.” Because they are now describing “European national fleets rushing to leave port,” in opposition to these latest moves.” While other simultaneous media reports insist that they have nothing to send.
These conflicting messages cannot be reconciled. 🤡
If true hope this can be verified!!!
This is an example of the far left making up stories that will appeal to those on the right, who will then spread this false info. Don’t fall for it. This is their new tactic to get everyone to hate the right.
Considering what each of those miscreants ARE… it would not be shocking or even mildly surprising if True.
If this is true they are playing a very dangerous game.
Does President Trump now and then do or say something stupid…???
Sure he does , he has a huge ego and it at times gets him in trouble…..
Ali had a big mouth and ego too….but he normally could back it up….
Big ego can be a blessing in that he helps you believe in your self…….and curse in that it looks and sound really bad at times.
I remember when John Lennon said the Beatles were more popular than Jesus……..the DJ across America boycotted them had huge break your Beatle records rallies…..
It took awhile but that too died down.
I have no idea why PT did the meme with the healing thing……..I for one do not think he believes he is Christ like..
I think his heart is good and he loves the Lord…
Hopefully he has learned something from this.
Tose that hate him will ride this thing and milk it for as long as they can…….I for one love the man and will keep him in my prayer………..
be well Treepers
President Trump is under a tremendous amount of pressure. All of us, as you say, do silly and sometimes ridiculous things when we hurt. President Trump isn’t a man of steel. He’s taken a lot of abuse for us. To be truthful, there’s no other person who’s walked this earth that would be better to model from than Jesus. And, as a matter of fact, there are those who lay hands to heal. Don’t say that he did but there are far worst things to do with your hands. God bless him now and always with peace and, if God wants, healing hands.

The 17th Amendment Broke the Founders’ Balance of Power — And Washington Grew Far Beyond Its Constitutional Limits
When the Founders designed the Constitution, they did something extraordinary.
They did not create a government based on a single stream of political power.
They created a system of balanced sources of authority, carefully structured so that no temporary political passion could easily overwhelm the rights of the people.
The House of Representatives was designed to reflect the will of the people directly.
The President was chosen by the Electoral College, ensuring that national leadership reflected both popular support and the union’s federal character.
And the Senate — critically — was designed to represent the states as sovereign political entities within the federal system.
Originally, United States Senators were chosen by state legislatures.
Oh noes!!
A weekend link by Instapundit revived an NPR story from two years ago, “Same-Sex Couples Face Higher Climate Change Risks, New UCLA Study Shows.”
Wow. Those poor homosexuals are in peril simply because they married one another rather than marry someone of the opposite sex.
Ban gay marriages, right? If such a ban saves one life, it is worth the sacrifice, right?
Swalwell resigned from Congress.
Swalwell resigned from Congress!
OK Swalwell out of congress too now. I guess the Democrats exposed themselves when they only wanted him out of the Governor’s race.
I wonder if they EVER actually asked him to get out of the race nicely at first? Did they give him a chance or did they stab him in the back without warning?
